ARN - While we're talking about the new cards...

[Theron Bretz]

I know I tend to be rather anal-retentive about things like authenticity and
period ambiance, but am I the only one who is annoyed by the phrase
"official okey-dokey" appearing on the authorization card?  For what it's
worth, I know this was Kief's choice of wording, not Ansgar or Kaz's, but it
still annoys me on  two levels:

1)  It is, in essence, a legal document and should be worded as such.  To
trivialize the authorization to participate in fighting activities
diminishes the responsibility to do so safely.

2)  Out of Kingdom events:  Personally, I'd be embarassed if a marshall from
another Kingdom read my card.  It make us look like a bunch of hicks from
the backwoods.

Before I go charging up the hill and burning villages, can someone in the
marshallate tell me if these concerns have been addressed or at least
discussed before they went to print?  I suspect the official response to my
second objection will be "lighten up, dude" <*sigh*>, but I believe the
first one deserves some consideration.
